Fade vs Straight, is it worth it

[Biegoe]

I was reading Golf My Way, and it talked alot about playing a fade or draw and percentages. My last few times out I have been trying to play a fade, but I just can't seem to get it right. I either hit it straight or to much of a fade. Is it really worth it to work on this or should I just play comfortable and try to hit it straight.

I know it is all about practice and getting the set up right. I have finally got to the point where I have my driver set up perfect and feel 100% confidence in it when I am in the box. I would like to get to this point with my irons. So should I work on my fade or should I just go back to trying to hit it straight?

No one hits it straight (except Johnny Miller and Byron Nelson). With rare exceptions, everyone has a "natural" ball flight. Identify what your natural ball flight is, and work on making it more repeatable. You may hit it straight, but you may also find you hit it longer if you fade it or draw it. It makes golf a lot easier if you can eliminate one side of the course or the other. If you truly hit it straight, don't fight it.
